Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'imagerie, comprenant : l'envoi de M faisceaux de bombardement (faisceaux de bombardement (i), i=1, …,M) (712a) respectivement vers des points cibles (720a, 72b, 720c) (i), i=1, …, M sur une cible (725), ce qui produit des faisceaux de rayonnement (722a) (i), i=1, …, M émis respectivement à partir des points cibles (i), i=1, …, M et se propageant vers un objet (730), M étant un nombre entier supérieur à 1 ; et pour chaque valeur de i, l'obtention d'une image 2D (bidimensionnelle) (i) de l'objet (730) en utilisant le rayonnement du faisceau de rayonnement (i) qui a traversé l'objet (730), la cible (725) étant fixe par rapport à l'objet (730).
